WARNING<br />
Owner’s <strong>Manual</strong><br />
PRECAUTIONS<br />
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING<br />
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.<br />
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, shortcircuiting,<br />
damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:<br />
Power supply/AC power adaptor<br />
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and<br />
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it,<br />
or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything<br />
over it.<br />
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage<br />
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.<br />
• Use the specified adaptor (page 86) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in<br />
damage to the instrument or overheating.<br />
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have<br />
accumulated on it.<br />
Do not open<br />
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument<br />
or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it<br />
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it<br />
inspected by qualified <strong>Yamaha</strong> service personnel.<br />
Water warning<br />
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet<br />
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any<br />
openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power<br />
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the<br />
instrument inspected by qualified <strong>Yamaha</strong> service personnel.<br />
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.<br />
Fire warning<br />
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.<br />
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.<br />
CAUTION<br />
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together<br />
with old ones.<br />
• Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or<br />
batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same<br />
maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.<br />
• Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries.<br />
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.<br />
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.<br />
• Keep batteries away from children.<br />
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid<br />
should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with<br />
water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss<br />
of sight or chemical burns.<br />
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity<br />
markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid<br />
leakage.<br />
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time,<br />
remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery<br />
fluid.<br />
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch<br />
and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. (If you are using batteries,<br />
remove all batteries from the instrument.) Then have the device inspected by<br />
<strong>Yamaha</strong> service personnel.<br />
• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.<br />
• It emits unusual smells or smoke.<br />
• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.<br />
• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.<br />
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the<br />
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:<br />
Power supply/AC power adaptor<br />
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.<br />
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the<br />
outlet.<br />
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the<br />
plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.<br />
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for<br />
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.<br />
Location<br />
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally<br />
fall over.<br />
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.<br />
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily<br />
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power<br />
switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is<br />
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When<br />
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord<br />
from the wall AC outlet.<br />
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack,<br />
use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal<br />
components or result in the instrument falling over.<br />
(7)-1 1/2<br />
Battery<br />
If you notice any abnormality<br />
Connections<br />
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the<br />
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components,<br />
set all volume levels to minimum.<br />
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and<br />
gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired<br />
listening level.<br />
Handling caution<br />
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.<br />
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or<br />
keyboard.<br />
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not<br />
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.<br />
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a<br />
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.<br />
If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
<strong>Yamaha</strong> cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.<br />
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.<br />
Even when the [ ](Standby/On) switch is in the “Standby” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for<br />
a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.<br />
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.<br />

GM System Level 1<br />
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible<br />
music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer.<br />
The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.<br />
XGlite<br />
As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of <strong>Yamaha</strong>’s high-quality XG tone generation format.<br />
Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in<br />
mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of<br />
control parameters and effects.<br />
USB<br />
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with<br />
peripheral Devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the<br />
computer is on).<br />
Stereo Sampled Piano<br />
The instrument has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice—created by state-of-the-art stereo sampling<br />
technology and using <strong>Yamaha</strong>’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone generation system.<br />
Touch Response<br />
The exceptionally natural Touch Response feature, with a convenient front panel on/off switch, gives<br />
you maximum expressive level control over the voices. It also works in conjunction with the Dynamic<br />
Filter, which dynamically adjusts the timbre or tone of a voice according to your playing strength—just<br />
a like a real musical instrument!<br />

Special Features<br />
Creating New Sounds<br />
Page 22<br />
By adjusting just two knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion, “sweetness,”<br />
or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drastically. Parameters<br />
that can be assigned to the knobs include effect, filter, envelope generator<br />
and more. You can create new sounds in real time!<br />
Arpeggio Function<br />
Page 20<br />
Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this function<br />
automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play the<br />
appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be produced by<br />
changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.<br />
Performance assistant technology<br />
Page 37<br />
Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect performance<br />
every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do is play<br />
on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the keyboard,<br />
for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in time with the<br />
music.<br />
Play a Variety of Instrument Voices<br />
Page 16<br />
The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to<br />
violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can change the<br />
mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead.<br />
Experience a whole new world of musical variety.<br />
Play Along with Styles<br />
Page 27<br />
Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.<br />
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering<br />
a wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and much<br />
more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with<br />
new styles to expand your musical horizons.<br />

Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.<br />
Power Requirements<br />
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, <strong>Yamaha</strong> recommends use of an<br />
AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not<br />
deplete resources.<br />
Using an AC Power Adaptor<br />
1 Make sure that the [ ](Standby/On) switch of the<br />
instrument is in the “Standby” position.<br />
WARNING<br />
• Use the specified adaptor (page 86). The use of other<br />
adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the<br />
adaptor and the instrument.<br />
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.<br />
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.<br />
CAUTION<br />
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the<br />
instrument, or during electrical storms.<br />
Using Batteries<br />
1 Open the battery compartment cover located on the<br />
instrument’s bottom panel.<br />
2 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow<br />
the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.<br />
3 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it<br />
locks firmly in place.<br />
NOTE<br />
• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies<br />
power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even<br />
when batteries are installed.<br />
Owner’s <strong>Manual</strong><br />

AC outlet<br />
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V<br />
“AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries<br />
are recommended.) When battery power becomes<br />
too low for proper operation, make sure to replace all<br />
batteries, following the precautions listed below.<br />
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User<br />
data (see pages 50, 77).<br />
CAUTION<br />
• Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining<br />
the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery<br />
installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive<br />
chemicals.<br />
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete<br />
set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.<br />
Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline<br />
and manganese) at the same time.<br />
• If the instrument will not be used for an extended period of<br />
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage.<br />
NOTICE<br />
• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument.<br />
Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries)<br />
may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the<br />
batteries are low, possibly resulting in a loss of flash memory<br />
data.<br />
• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to<br />
flash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can<br />
be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries<br />
do become drained during a data transfer, both the data<br />
being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination<br />
will be lost.
Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.<br />
Connecting Headphones<br />
(PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)<br />
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo<br />
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient<br />
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off<br />
when a plug is inserted into this jack.<br />
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an<br />
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT-<br />
PUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,<br />
mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device<br />
to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.<br />
WARNING<br />
• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for<br />
long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear<br />
fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.<br />
CAUTION<br />
• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the<br />
external devices at the minimum setting before connecting<br />
them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric<br />
shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the<br />
volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually<br />
raise the volume controls while playing the instrument<br />
to set the desired listening level.<br />
Connecting a Footswitch<br />
(SUSTAIN Jack)<br />
Setting Up<br />
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain<br />
as you play by pressing a footswitch. A <strong>Yamaha</strong> FC4<br />
or FC5 footswitch plugged into this jack can be used<br />
to switch sustain on and off.<br />
NOTE<br />
• The sustain function does not affect split voices.<br />
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected<br />
to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.<br />
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on.<br />
Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch,<br />
resulting in reversed footswitch operation.<br />
Turning the Power On<br />
The [ ](Standby/On) switch turns the power to the<br />
instrument on ( ) or standby ( ). Turn down the<br />
volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control<br />
to the left and press the [ ](Standby/On) switch to<br />
turn on the power. Press the [ ](Standby/On) switch<br />
again to turn the power off.<br />
While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level<br />
by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.<br />
CAUTION<br />
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity<br />
is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum<br />
level. When you are not using the instrument for a long<br />
time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from<br />
the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the<br />
instrument.<br />

Creating Arpeggios<br />
The arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken chords) by simply playing the<br />
required notes on the keyboard. For example, you could play the notes of a triad—the<br />
root, third, and fifth—and the arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of<br />
interesting arpeggio-type phrases. By changing the arpeggio type and the notes you<br />
play it is possible to create a wide range of patterns and phrases that can be used for<br />
music production as well as performance.<br />

the sound to decay to silence<br />
after a key is released).<br />
In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A<br />
and Knob B have the same functions as for “z Filter” described on the preceding<br />
page.<br />
Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob<br />
clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases<br />
the tempo. The knob’s center position produces the initial default tempo.<br />

Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can<br />
result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level.<br />
If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal<br />
settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same<br />
way, if the “v STYLE FILTER” effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if<br />
a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might<br />
be a good idea to save it in the instrument’s Registration Memory (page 48)<br />
so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record<br />
performances using original sounds you’ve created (page 43).<br />
Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly<br />
assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are first operated<br />
after the new effect has been selected.<br />

is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for<br />
slow pieces.<br />

Connecting a Personal Computer<br />
In order to be able to communicate with and use<br />
instruments connected to your computer, the appropriate<br />
driver software must be properly installed on your<br />
computer. The USB-MIDI driver allows sequence<br />
software and similar applications on your computer to<br />
transmit and receive MIDI data to and from MIDI<br />
devices via a USB cable. The USB-MIDI driver is<br />
included on the CD-ROM. Installation of the USB-<br />
MIDI driver is described on page 80.<br />
USB terminal USB terminal<br />
USB cable<br />
CAUTION<br />
• Connect the <strong>PSR</strong>-<strong>E423</strong> to external equipment only after<br />
turning off power for all devices. Then, turn on the power,<br />
first to the <strong>PSR</strong>-<strong>E423</strong>, then to the connected external equipment.<br />
Reverse this order when you turn the power off.<br />

Precautions when using the USB<br />
terminal<br />
When connecting the computer to the USB terminal,<br />
make sure to observe the following points. Failing to<br />
do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or<br />
losing the data. If the computer or the instrument<br />
freezes, restart the application software or the computer<br />
OS, or turn the power to the instrument off then<br />
on again.<br />
• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3<br />
meters.<br />
• Before connecting the computer to the USB terminal,<br />
exit from any power-saving mode of the computer<br />
(such as suspended, sleep, standby).<br />
• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect<br />
the computer to the USB terminal.<br />
• Execute the following before turning the power to<br />
the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the<br />
USB cable to/from the USB terminal.<br />
• Quit any open application software on the computer.<br />
• Make sure that data is not being transmitted<br />
from the instrument. (Data is transmitted whenever<br />
you play on the keyboard or play back a<br />
song, etc.)<br />
• While the computer is connected to the instrument,<br />
you should wait for six seconds or more between<br />
these operations: (1) when turning the power of the<br />
instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately<br />
connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.<br />

Troubleshooting<br />
The driver cannot be installed.<br />
• Is the USB cable connected correctly?<br />
Check the USB cable connection. Disconnect the<br />
USB cable, then connect it again.<br />
• Is the USB function enabled on your computer?<br />
When you connect the instrument to the computer<br />
for the first time, if the “Add (Found) New Hardware<br />
Wizard” or the “Found New Hardware” window<br />
does not appear, the USB function on the<br />
computer may be disabled. Perform the following<br />
steps.<br />
1 Select [Control Panel]* � [System] � [Hardware]<br />
� [Device Manager] (for Windows<br />
2000/XP), or select [Control Panel] �<br />
[Device Manager] (for Windows Vista/7).<br />
* Classic View only in Windows XP.<br />
2 Make sure that no “!” or “x” marks appear<br />
at “Universal serial bus controller” or “USB<br />
Root Hub”. If you see an “!” or “x” mark, the<br />
USB controller is disabled.<br />
• Is any unknown device registered?<br />
If driver installation fails, the instrument will be<br />
marked as an “Unknown device”, and you will not<br />
be able to install the driver. Delete the “Unknown<br />
device” by following the steps below.<br />
1 Select [Control Panel]* � [System] � [Hardware]<br />
� [Device Manager] (for Windows<br />
2000/XP), or select [Control Panel] �<br />
[Device Manager] (for Windows Vista/7).<br />
* Classic View only in Windows XP.<br />
2 Look for “Other devices” in the menu “View<br />
devices by type”.<br />
3 If you find “Other devices”, double-click it to<br />
extend the tree to look for “Unknown<br />
device”. If one appears, select it and click<br />
the [Remove] button.<br />
4 Remove the USB cable from the instrument,<br />
and make the connection again.<br />
5 Install the driver again. (pages 80–81)
When controlling the instrument from your<br />
computer via USB, the instrument does not<br />
operate correctly or no sound is heard.<br />
• Did you install the driver? (page 80)<br />
• Is the USB cable connected correctly?<br />
• Are the volume settings of the instrument, playback<br />
device, and application program set to the<br />
appropriate levels?<br />
• Have you selected an appropriate port in the<br />
sequence software?<br />
• Are you using the latest USB MIDI driver? The<br />
latest driver can be downloaded from the following<br />
web site.<br />
http://music.yamaha.com/download/<br />
Playback response is delayed.<br />
• Does your computer satisfy the system requirements?<br />
• Is any other application or device driver running?<br />
Cannot suspend or resume the computer correctly.<br />
• Do not suspend the computer while the MIDI<br />
application is running.<br />
If you are using Windows 2000, you may not be<br />
able to suspend/resume normally, depending on the<br />

Troubleshooting<br />
Appendix<br />
Problem Possible Cause and Solution<br />
When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping<br />
sound is temporarily produced.<br />
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical<br />
power.<br />
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce<br />
interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further<br />
away from the instrument.<br />
There is no sound even when the keyboard is played<br />
or when a song or style is being played back.<br />
Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard<br />
does not produce any sound.<br />
The volume is too soft.<br />
The sound quality is poor.<br />
The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.<br />
The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly.<br />
The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel<br />
settings are reset.<br />
The style or song does not play back when the<br />
[START/STOP] button is pressed.<br />
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the<br />
rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound<br />
is output.<br />
Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 74.)<br />
When using the Dictionary function (page 65), the keys in the right hand<br />
area are used only for entering the chord root and type.<br />
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely<br />
new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.<br />
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer<br />
to “External Clock” on page 74.<br />
The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 62) is set to an appropriate level.<br />
Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing?<br />
Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 63).<br />
Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing<br />
press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.<br />
No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/<br />
STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number<br />
150 or a style between 162 and 174 (Pianist).<br />
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound<br />
seems to be cut off.<br />
Some notes don’t sound when playing multiple notes<br />
simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes don’t<br />
sound when playing arpeggios.<br />
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the<br />
opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch<br />
cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the<br />
sounds.<br />
This is not a malfunction. Style number 150 and style numbers 162–174<br />
(Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will<br />
begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the<br />
keyboard if style playback is turned on.<br />
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual<br />
voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the<br />
same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the<br />
accompaniment or song.<br />
You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony<br />
(the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of<br />
the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than<br />
32 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any automatic<br />
playback functions.<br />
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch<br />
plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the<br />
power.<br />
The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings<br />
(samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus,<br />
the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note.<br />
The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.<br />
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.<br />
The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the<br />
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.<br />
Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any stylerelated<br />
function.<br />

Thank you for selecting a <strong>Yamaha</strong> product. <strong>Yamaha</strong> products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free<br />
performance. <strong>Yamaha</strong> Corporation of America (“<strong>Yamaha</strong>”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every<br />
<strong>Yamaha</strong> product. <strong>Yamaha</strong> sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you, the<br />
Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from <strong>Yamaha</strong>’s<br />
authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted<br />
Area. <strong>Yamaha</strong> suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized <strong>Yamaha</strong> dealer or<br />
<strong>Yamaha</strong> Customer Service if you have any questions.<br />
Coverage: <strong>Yamaha</strong> will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or<br />
otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or<br />
materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed <strong>Yamaha</strong> specifications for new parts. If<br />
<strong>Yamaha</strong> elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or<br />
removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, <strong>Yamaha</strong> will pay<br />
the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a)<br />
damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or failure to<br />
follow instructions according to the Owner’s <strong>Manual</strong> for this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to the<br />
carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than <strong>Yamaha</strong> or an authorized <strong>Yamaha</strong> Service Center; (b) any unit which has been<br />
altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic maintenance; (d)<br />
deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity; (e)<br />
damages attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/<br />
noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of<br />
alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original<br />
Owner and is not transferable.<br />
In Order to Obtain Warranty Service: Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the Warranted<br />
Area. Contact your local authorized <strong>Yamaha</strong> dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful, contact<br />
<strong>Yamaha</strong> at the address, telephone number or website shown below. <strong>Yamaha</strong> may request that you send the defective product to a local<br />
authorized <strong>Yamaha</strong> Servicer or authorize return of the defective product to <strong>Yamaha</strong> for repair. If you are uncertain as to whether a dealer<br />
has been authorized by <strong>Yamaha</strong>, please contact <strong>Yamaha</strong>’s Service Department at the number shown below, or check <strong>Yamaha</strong>’s website<br />
at www.<strong>Yamaha</strong>.com. Product(s) shipped for service should be packed securely and must be accompanied by a detailed explanation of<br />
the problem(s) requiring service, together with the original or a machine reproduction of the bill of sale or other dated, proof-of-purchase<br />
document describing the product, as evidence of warranty coverage. Should any product submitted for warranty service be found<br />
ineligible therefore, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the repair will be accomplished only if requested by you and upon<br />
receipt of payment or acceptable arrangement for payment.<br />

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE<br />
APPLICABLE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH ABOVE. YAMAHA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR<br />
